Easter Ham



Ok so I guess Im just catching up on things I have made - just trying to learn how to cook things now that Im back living on my own.

Waaaay back at Easter I made this. I still prefer Turkey over ham. I made a Turkey a couple times a while back - find it kinda stressful (over cooked = dry, under cooked = sick/killed relatives, dont open the oven door too often, Check the temp etc etc). Good thing my sister in law made her always fabulous turkey that day too. OH so much food.

This was a ham from a butchers shop - apparently tastier and better quality meat than those pre- made grocery store ones - though I must stay the spiral ones look easy and are tasty too.
The hams are already cooked so they say... its just the seasoning and prep that makes it more complicated. Funny how we still gotta cook for a couple hours even though it is already cooked.

This was a mix of two receipes (Picked things out of each):

Ham Braised with Maple Raisin Sauce

Epicurious Maple raisn ham

and


Martha Stewart's glazed ham
